Abstract

Open-ended (OE) pile field tests in low to medium density chalk have demonstrated a unique post
installation response which impacts their axial short and long-term performance. Field-scale pile tests,
although crucial for the development of new empirical based design approaches, are costly and timeconsuming. Alternatively, characteristics observed at the field-scale can be broadly replicated at a
small-scale for a lower cost and with more flexibility. In this scope the ICE-PICK testing campaign, a
numerical and experimental study on installation effects and their long-term impact pile performance,
will be discussed. Focus is drawn to the small-scale experimental pile tests conducted and the advanced techniques (namely a new versatile loading frame apparatus and X-ray CT) used to study the
risks associated with pile installation in soft rocks.
